possible upgrade from nuvi 350 to nuvi 760 !

[tsdinos]

Hello!

I currently have the nuvi 350 with V9 mapping and I'm thinking to upgrade it for the nuvi 760. Does anyone else have it? Does it worth the trouble? Also I'd like to ask if anyone knows if the 760 has any other differences with the 770 apart from the transatlantic mapping and if it includes any actual greek text as the 350 claims to have greek language support but it uses latin characters and it looks odd !!
I think I read somewhere that there are maps with cyrillic names so I guess it will use greek text for greek maps, but i'd like to ask someone who knows better!!!
Also if anyone is interested for a nuvi 350 with V9 mapping in mint condition with original packaging and extras, please let me know!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot bradders! If the option for Greek language appears as "Ellivika" not only they haven't add greek text but they made it even more confusing! For example there are 2 ways to read greek text. One is with full latin/english letters know as "greeklish" where you use latin letters to describe the pronounciation of the greek word and the 2nd way is with proper greek letters! If it was greek it should appear like "Ελληνικά" and in greeklish it should appear as "Ellinika"
the letter "v" = N in greek but since the rest of the letters are latin is very confusing as it sounds as a "V"!!!!!!

Thanks again for the info though! I managed to have some look on the NT2008 mapping and it doesnt look much helpful to me. I live in Portsmouth and accross my house there is a main road which they have blocked its access to the vehicles for the past 3 years and yet there is the same mistake on the map as it was to the V9 !!!

***UPDATE***

I just got some more info about the nuvi 760.

I just found out from a Greek retailer that it DOES support Greek text and possibly a greek TTS voice (i need to confirm that)

I also found out that since even the new NT 2008 has some improvments for Greece (added some street mapping on the city of Patra, Salonica and some improvments made on Athens) it still has very little roads for the rest of the country, so the retailer suggest an additional map that covers almost every city in Greece with street level map and a much more advanced road level on the countryside.
The company that has this additional map is called "Autodrive hellas" www.autodrivehellas.gr and these maps are fully combatible with the Garmin's nuvi series.

If anyone is interested to get a much better map for Greece (fully routable) PM me!
